Novak Djokovic has defended his Australian Open crown for the third straight year with a dominant straight sets win over world No. 4 Daniil Medvedev. The world No. 1’s experience was the clear difference, with Djokovic weathering all kinds of challenges to seal the 7-5 6-2 6-2 win, and his ninth Australian Open title. The incredible victory keeps Djokovic’s immaculate Australian Open finals record intact as the Serbian chases down fellow greats Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal for total Grand Slam title wins. The loss for Medvedev leaves him winless in his two Grand Slam finals, putting a sour end to what was otherwise an excellent Australian Open campaign for the Russian fourth seed. Up until the loss to Djokovic, Medvedev hadn’t lost to a top 10 ranked player in 20 matches. “It’s a matter of time when you hold a Grand Slam that’s for sure,” a humble Djokovic said of Medvedev in his post-match speech. “If you don’t mind waiting a few more years. “I would like everyone just to appreciate what he has done – (a) 20 match winning streak in the last couple of months. Amazing.” Djokovic was eerily imposing early in the match, racing to a […]

Russian FM Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday Moscow was interested in seeing the EU achieve practical results as the facilitator of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, but noted that they must be implemented in an impartial manner and that Pristina’s sabotage when it comes to respect of agreements, including the deal on a Community of Serb Municipalities, must be tackled. Lavrov reiterated Russia was advocating respect of UN SC Resolution 1244, which he said must be the foundation for seeking any agreement with Pristina. “Our position is unchanged, we support the seeking of compromise, but only one that suits the Serbs, not the tendencies that want confrontation in the region,” Lavrov told a press conference after meeting with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in Belgrade. Lavrov also welcomed Serbia’s balanced foreign policy and its policy of military neutrality, which he said was particularly important for the region.

The three-day holiday, locally called Bayram, marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, which Muslims spend fasting daily until the evening. “Let us not forget that human civilization began at the moment when one human came to the aid of another,” Nasufovic said at his press conference in Belgrade. “Only through fasting do people get a special power of humility with which they reach the highest heights.
